Serenity said, “I understand that another marriage isn’t on the table now, but I’m speaking in terms of the future. You’re young, Liberty. Are you planning to be single for the rest of your life?”
“Why not? I think I’m doing fine. I don’t need to wait on my in-laws hand and foot or deal with any issue with a mother-in-law and a sister-in-law. I can do whatever I want and spend on whatever I want. I feel free.”
Thanks to her newfound freedom, it dawned on Liberty why more and more women did not want to take the marriage route.
Serenity was speechless.
“Don’t worry about me, Seren. My life can’t be better. Don’t you think I’m happier now that I’m divorced?”
Serenity nodded her head.
“Don’t you wish I’ll always be happy?”
“Of course.”
“Don’t bring up the possibility of a second marriage. I just escaped from hell, but Seren, this shouldn’t be a reason for you to be afraid of marriage. Yours is different from mine. Zachary seems like a reliable guy.
There was no guarantee that people would not change down the road.
“Has Zachary gone to work?”
“Yes.”
Liberty grabbed a wrap to strap her son on her bag while speaking, “Remind Zachary to put on layers when the weather is cold. Don’t let him work too hard. Health is most important, and the rest comes second.”
“He’s a grown-up. He should know how to take care of himself. He must have gotten the flu from overworking himself. Stress doesn’t go well with building body immunity. The viral flu comes around this time of the year.”
Serenity did not have the guts to say that Zachary got a cold from taking cold showers and that the cold showers were because of her.
